## About

A monthly family hour at Brecksville's Trailside Program Center that explores nature through picture books, games, short hikes and other activities. The October session is about bats. The walk covers about half a mile on flat paved and natural-surface trails, so it suits preschoolers and early-elementary children with a grown-up. Registration is through the Metroparks system.
